Man City are now just two games away from becoming the first side in a decade to retain the Premier League title. The last team to achieve the feat were City's rivals Manchester United, in the 2007/08 and the 2008/09 campaigns.

Man City team selection vs Wolves could be significant
Manchester City are ready to step up their Premier League title defence with a significant team selection. Barring any last setbacks, they have the brilliant midfield trio of Fernandinho, David Silva and Kevin de Bruyne ready to start a league game together for the first time this season.

By contrast, when one or more of those three didn’t start, City won 11, drew two and suffered their only two defeats, by Liverpool and Manchester United.
